Opened in 1861 by the London & North Western Railway as the terminus of the short branch line from Hanwood, this station closed to passengers in 1951 and completely in 1967. View north from the road at the station forecourt, now a private residence. The platform was behind and to the right of the house, at a right-angle to this viewpoint. It is now under a car park and factory buildings.
